Mount Alexander Shire Council completed the upgrade of a 200‑metre section of Yeats Street, between James Street and Wheeler Street in Castlemaine, in April 2023.

The upgrade was delivered to improve safety, drainage performance and overall road conditions for all users.
The project reconstructed, widened and sealed the existing road, transforming the gravel surface into a sealed roadway that reduces dust generation and provides more reliable access for vehicles. Works also included the installation of kerb, stormwater pits and underground drainage to better manage runoff and reduce the risk of stormwater entering private properties.
